The 2016 Global Accountancy Awards have been created to highlight the vital work done throughout all industries and sectors by the behind-the-scenes experts who ensure that every firm, regardless of size, reputation, geographical location or area of expertise, can be confident that the figures that make it tick are in safe hands.

Accountants all over the world carry out a vast array of essential tasks, from ensuring the accuracy of statements and maintaining compliance with laws and regulations, to advising on best practice and making recommendations regarding the most effective allocation of resources. The biggest and best businesses naturally work with only the most innovative, mindful, dedicated and talented accounting professionals and it is these specialists that we seek to reward through our prestigious awards programme.

Winners of these awards are nominated by our internal experts as well as their own clients and peers, and through our rigorous and lengthy judging and research process, we ensure that those who do go on to win one of these highly sought after prizes have been selected purely on merit.
